Debbie is flagger for Great Basin Pipeline,
she puts up a sign that says SLOW
on one side and STOP on the other,
she spends the summer on Crane Mountain
making do with a tedious series
of brief and irritating relationships,
feeding the chipmunks, swatting insects,
watching for sasquatch.
Debbie spends the winter in Elko
at the Four-Way Casino,
feeding the slots, swatting cowboys,
making do with a tedious series
of brief and irritating relationships,
she puts up a sign that says SLOW
on one side and STOP on the other.
Debbie spends the night
watching for sasquatch.

Well done. I love your language - so concise and still musical. (I used to post as Twitches but changed my name)
Marvelous work. I think we're all either slowed or stopped sooner or later, eh? And debbie would be the one to do it, too, I guess.
I came seeking fine work; found it.
i enjoyed your witty phrases :D
Set the scene, texturize, tweak imagery for double service: This poet at his beguiling best.
